Gunbird 2

Post by pilotwings »

Hi most of my blasters are jap but recently i traded one of my fighting games for a usa gunbird 2 on dreamcast. I was just wondering what the differences are between the jap version and us version if any as there usually is with different regions. Plus if you pld both which did you prefer and why. Just curious :D

The final boss is a dog, not a beaver. Instead of frogs he uses giant pill capsules.

There were also some homoerotic scenes with Aine cut out, from what I hear.

Otherwise they're identical ports.

Also if you hold start while booting up you get access to the PCB style dip settings which allow you to practice individual stages and set rank accordingly. This option isn't in the japanese release.
